Well, i tried the Suffix line, i think it was the seige.. i have had it on a couple of reels for a couple of months now...
overall, i thought it cast fine, it has very low memory, but also seems to have more stretch than even regular mono....
worm/jig rod - i took it off after first trip... just too much stretch for me.
i have been mainly using it on a crank bait... it casts good and seems tough enough, i havent lost a fish due to line breakage yet, but i still dont like the amount of stretch... i think it is affecting my hookset and it seems like i am loosing some feel... i think i am going to go back to big-game...
over all, not too bad, just too stretchy, for the price i think it is decent line, i still plan to use what i have left for fishing with bait for other species... catfish, reds, etc.
i never threw a spinner or a top with it, but i think the results would have been the same...
hope this helps....

Thanks for the report tailchaser. You would think with everyone trying to develop low stretch line they would have made that a priority.

P-Line Flourocarbon = low stretch!

easy now, i was not trying to get into that old "which line is better" argument... just trying to let yall know what i thought of the suffix.... besides i used to use p-line... and went back to big game...

i use suffix the elite is soft smooth and stretches. the siege is not as flexible but still has low memory and reduced stretch, but not as transparent as elite....
good luck

lol p-line is good for a few days, but after that memory takes over and you got coils...have to refill too much, but it's good stuff at the beginning...

P-line you can hook your hook on something and back up casting distance and 1/2 tighten your drag down pull and crank keeping your rod loaded up all the way back to your hook. Do that a couple of times looky looky no memory! Tightens up the line on spool at same time so you also get better casting performance. ;D Its all those little things added up that make a BIG performance difference and put more fish in hand instead of LDR (long distance release),break offs, etc.
